I am also a licensed dietitian (LD) and have been named as a Fellow by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (FAND).

What do you enjoy about teaching online at Geneva College?

I love that nutrition is something we all need to learn more about. I love it when students make discoveries about themselves related to foods, what they like to eat, what they like to cook and how proper nutrition can make them feel.
